> NATIONAL ARCHIVE DOCUMENTS GO ONLINE
> Fifty million historical records in the National Archives are now
> available online. Instead of visiting the Archives or requesting
> records by phone, researchers, genealogists, and others can now search
> for records ranging from the details of battles to immigration
> information remotely and free of charge. Veterans in particular are
> expected to welcome the system to search for information on military
> action, casualties, and prisoners of war. The database of searchable
> records contains only a small portion of the archive's electronic
> holdings and is compiled from 20 federal agencies. To ensure thei
r
> integrity, the records from the different agencies have not been
> altered, so some contain typographical and historical errors.
